Anna Studios

Stayed here twice this year, peak and the end of season. Perfect for solo, couple or family. I stayed in the Jesmine Apartments both times. It’s simple, has everything you need for a stay. Proper Greek! The pools are a good size and very clean. The pool area doesn’t get too busy and is perfect to relax with a drink from the bar! Has a good selection of bar food too. Before I booked I looked at a lot of studios and apartments and I’m so please I found Anna and Jesmine….. wouldn’t stay anywhere else now. Yannis, family and team thank you so much for looking after me and being so welcoming and helpful. Hope to see you again soon! Next year with my sons and grandson. Emma xx

What a great place to stay this is, wonderfully peaceful, clean and friendly. no queuing for sunbeds, waiting ages at the bar or for food. Yanis was a great host and very helpful. Kostas the afternoon barman is a bit of a character, loves his rock music. A special mention must go to Sanna, who runs the bar in the day and does wonders in the little kitchen producing the food. They are a credit to the hotel. Pythagorion is a 5 min cab ride away and only costs 6 euros. hardly worth walking. lol. We attended the BBQ at the hotel, had a great time and drunk quite a bit. (nothing new there). if you are considering any other hotel in Pythagorion then i urge you change your mind and stay at this gem, you won't be disappointed.

We stayed at Anna Studios for a week in early September 2024. Our fifth visit over the last 8 years and as always had a great time. This year we were on the First Floor (Room 13), lucky for us! The standout positive about our stay was the very warm welcome from Yannis, Aspa and all the other team members. They all work incredibly hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible, without being in your face all the time, if that makes sense? The guests are from various countries, and this works well in our view. The accommodation is comfortable without being overly fussy. It has all you need including air-conditioning and a safe for a modest charge. Our favorite beach is in front of the Kouros Bay Hotel and this an easy walk from Anna Studios, we also spend time around the lovely pool and have lunch at the Anna bar with George on duty most days. Simple Greek food but delicious and reasonably priced as are the beer and G&Ts. Of an evening, we enjoy a walk into Pythagoreio, which takes circa 20 minutes. Once dinner, cocktails and people watching is complete we always get a taxi back (6 Euros) to Anna Studios for a nightcap at the bar. Favorite restaurants in Pythagoreio include Esperides Restaurant, Irodion Garden Restaurant, Elia Restaurant and Aφrodite Garden Restaurant. Pegasus on the walk into town is also worth a visit. Finally, we enjoyed our regular boat trip to Psili Ammos beach with Captain Giorgos and Madeleine on their boat Kaliopi, moored in the Pythagoreio harbour, just write your name down in their red book by their boat to reserve your place the day before you go. Cost is 25 Euros return, great value for money. So overall 10 out of 10 for our holiday at Anna Studios and much of that score is down to the hosts Yannis and Aspa’s warm welcome. Can’t wait to return. Carl & Sue

We went to Samos for a wedding end of July, booked through Ebookers and they totally messed up our booking. Yannis wasn't given the correct informtion for our booking so it wasn't his fault, but he did everything to try and reslove someone elses problem. We had a great time while staying there, very friendly atmosphere. Accomadation is good has everything you need and great location 20 min walk from the water front or 3 min by car, yes it's near th airport but it's not busy so noise isn't a problem. We would definately stay again, value for money, if you want 5* accomadation, then go somewhere else and pay 5* prices. Thank you Yannis for making our stay fantastic, looking forward to seeing you again looking forward to more cold beer!!

A lovely stay at these studios which have the best showers we’ve ever had in Greece! Cutlery was a bit sparse but we only needed it for a simple breakfast and much-needed tea! A free drink on arrival was a great touch and we were 10 mins, no more, from the nearest beach, perhaps a bit less using the short cut just after the bridge, past the lake. There were always sun beds available, especially if one arrived before 1030, and those in front of Almira Hotel were free. It was a 25 min walk into the port at Pythagorion but in view of the heat we used a taxi (€6) to go down and walked back in the cooler part of the evening. Loads of restaurants, none we tried disappointed. Overall a fantastic holiday.

Samos Airport is not particularly big, and we went through Security / Customs fairly quickly. The longest wait was on the transfer bus. The transfer time is less than 5 mins once the bus set off. Unusually 5 British couples got off at Anna Studios and there was quite a queue for the rooms. Fortunately, my wife was first off the bus, and we got the room that Yannis promised us; Room 6 on the ground floor. The queue did not last long and everyone had a room card within five minutes of arrival due to the efficiency and preparation of Yannis on reception. The reception has moved and was ably supported throughout the day by either Yannis or Aspa, both exceptional and happy hosts. When we had an issue with the TV remote, Yannis fixed it very quickly. The room was basic, but what do you need from a bedroom. The fridge was cold and fit for purpose and the shower and curtain was good and the beds comfy. Clean towels every other day and a room refresh by a very friendly cleaner. My only very minor, minor moan was lack of storage, but we used the spare bed which met our needs; we always take too many cloths and stuff! Air con and safe was €75 (cash) for 7 days. The pool was great, did tend to get some debris due to the abundant foliage, lemon, and lime tress. However a quick turn on the pumps and the pool cleared very quickly; this never caused a problem, and the pool was nearly in use and was a social place to talk to other couples. The pool was cleaned every other day whilst we were there. The pool itself was extremely refreshing due to the hot daytime temperatures. There was never a fight for sunbeds and the sunbeds were comfortable. The hotel has many nationalities staying including British, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Dutch. The hotel bar was well managed by Sanna in the day and Constantine at night. Sanna has an infectious bubbly personality, and both were very eager to please and nothing was too much trouble. The Mythos was especially welcomed at a cost of €5 a 500ml bottle, in a glass straight out of the freezer; the crisps was also a nice addition. The beach was a 10-minute walk if you used the short cut just after the bridge. The beach was small pebbles, and the sun beds was €10 for two. Almyra, is a nice little restaurant just off the beach forming part of the Fito Aqua Bleu Resort. Service was quick and the food good. Pythagorio, a fantastic hub of bars and restaurants is a €6 taxi cab or 15-minute walk. A massive thank you to Yannis, Aspa, Sanna and Constantine, we will definitely see you next year
